Deputy Minister of Industry (Wamenperin) Faisol Riza asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to become an investor in industrial development in other provinces.

This was conveyed by Faisol after meeting the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, at the DKI Jakarta City Hall in discussing Jakarta's role in the industrial world.

"We want Jakarta to be able to attract other provinces to become part of the industry. Jakarta can play an investor for other provinces through industry," said Faisol, Wednesday, October 15.

According to Faisol, Jakarta has a stronger capacity than other regions in terms of infrastructure, financial financial management, and human resources.

"Jakarta through BUMD, through their finances, can encourage industrialization in other provinces," said Faisol.

Therefore, he continued, the role of the capital city is very important to strengthen the development of industrialization that spreads in various parts of Indonesia.

"I think this is what is needed from other provinces because they are not as strong as Jakarta, the infrastructure is not as complete as Jakarta, the finances are not as strong as Jakarta. Then, the human resources are also not as good as Jakarta," he explained.

Faisol assessed that Jakarta has the potential to become a center for national industrialization and downstreaming, just like the city of Shenzhen in China.

"Actually, DKI can become Indonesia's Shenzhen. We remember that when China was not as developed as it is now, one of the things they made was to make an area like Shenzhen the center of industrial activities," explained Faisol.

According to Faisol, the provincial government has a strategic and vital role in supporting industrial growth in Indonesia. He assessed that DKI Jakarta could be a beacon or a lighthouse of national industrialization activities.

"Through this lighthouse, we will hold a lot of industrial activities in Jakarta together with the DKI government. For example, sectoral industrial conferences, industrial area conferences, various conferences. We will make Jakarta a power," he added.
